Yes, gold is generally very resistant to corrosion from any natural atmosphere and any aqueous solutions, except for one called "aqua regia", a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids.

∙ 9y agoGold (Au) is a noble metal among others that include silver, platinum and gold. Nobel metals are highly resistant to oxidation, which causes rust in other metals, specifically iron (Fe).

∙ 12y agoIt doesn't corrode because it is the least reactive element and doesn't react with anything. To corrode, it has to be able to react

∙ 11y agobecause gold has no reaction with moist places or water so it prevents oxygen too thats why gold does not rust in moist air

because gold is found mostly in free state and they are noble metals and they donot react with HCL

Why iron rust slowly in moist air?
I don't know whether the main question is why iron rustsor why does it rust slowly but i will answer bothiron rusts in air because air contains oxygen and water.and for rusting to occur, you NEED both oxygen and water..why it rusts slowly because , although air has an abundance of oxygen (~30%) water does not (~1%) and that is why it rusts slowly. because there is lesser water in the air to react with the iron and oxygen.

What conditions are needed for rusting to take place?
Moist and sometimes warm environment. Also only certain kinds of metals or mixes of metals rust. For example, gold doesn't rust, but iron easily rusts.
Can radioactive gold rust?
Gold does not rust, so neither do radioactive nuclides of gold.
